Life Without Memory: Clive Wearing, Part 1+2

Damage to his frontal lobe, loss of memory. Clive doesn't remember his past but can remember his family. Brief encoding of information, Clive forgets as soon as he receives it. Clive has to look at his watch all the time because he can't recall which time interval it is. He doesn't remember which person he sees through the day, but he still retain his ability to sing and play piano. Clive has to keep notes of what he did to remind him.
